You may also want to use subkeys.pgp.net. These are servers running software not eating keys. > - What is the problem with multiple subkeys? pksd used to have only a simple hack to support *one* subkey but bo revocation for them etc. If they encounter a key with an "unknown" structre they start to eat packets or swap them around. Updated pksd versions are much better and won't eat them anymore. However due to the syncronisation they can't do much about already garbled keys except for removing invalid parts. > - Are they in accordance with the RFC (2440)?

I have these problems for may years now and as a workaround I use the X-Request-PGP header to point to a valid source of my key. > - Is there a solution in the works? There is a couple of new keyserver software actually in use but not yet widespread enough. subkeys.pgp.net is a goog start. > - If not, has anyone already thought about how to solve this mess? All keyserver operators should update to the new pksd or even better use one of the modern servers.
